I was born and raised on Long Island and my mother would say the same thing to me and my sisters.

Don't post the entire article that you found but the name of the publication or a link to the site would be useful.

WaPo Covid tracker. Near the top under "Places with Highest Daily..."
NYT table. See "State Trends"

Florida, Texas, and Louisiana peaked earlier and are now declining. The surge has now moved on to other states.

The WaPo table shows 42 daily reported cases per 100,000 in FL but only 26 for New Jersey and 27 for New York. And again, Florida is on the way down from a peak of about 80 daily reported cases per 100,000.

The rationing/distributing of the antibodies definitely has a bad feel to it.

How dare you say that to our Gracie Girl. East coasters are aggressive? Yup. You got that right and I'm one of them. PLEASE be nice to Gracie.

Or, alternatively, THEY ARE NOT CARRYING IT AT ALL. Yes, I know it doesn't fit the "anti-vaxxers" narrative, but that's life. I clearly remember lining up in the school gym to get a sugar cube with Sabin vaccine. Thank God there weren't any "anti-vaxxers" back then, or we'd still be dealing with poliomyelitis.

where?

Oh........My..........Goodness!!!

I would think by now you would know the REAL reason Biden and Harris did not trust the vaccine. They made that statement only if the vaccine received the EAU when Trump was STILL IN OFFICE. I understand why they said it. I would not trust the vaccine either if it were rushed into American's arms while Trump was still in office.

I'm so thankful the vaccine did not receive EUA while Trump was in office. I feel very confident with the safety of the vaccine and not that the vaccine was a pawn for political gain for Trump.

MODERATOR........PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not delete this post. The truth needs to be said and if there are people who believe what this poster is intimating; that misinformation MUST be debunked. The poster even queried, "what gives with that?", so I answered his/her query.

I agree. The prosecution opened the door when he asked the question on direct examination:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I will get you the site that shows cases per 100,000. It is the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. Both the Hopkins stats and the WAPO stats you linked to shows that Florida is in a much better position than some would have us think.

I have read your (WaPo, NYT wants me to subscribe) and it shows trends for the 50 states. This is the site you referenced.

They are not carrying it at all? LOL Is that why CDC suddenly changed course and told fully vaccinated people to wear masks when indoors???

From the CDC:


People infected with the Delta variant, including fully vaccinated people with symptomatic breakthrough infections, can transmit the virus to others. CDC is continuing to assess data on whether fully vaccinated people with asymptomatic breakthrough infections can transmit the virus.

Delta Variant: What We Know About the Science | CDC

So what percentage of covid cases recently, during delta surge, arer among the fully vaccinated.

CDC study in Los Angeles

The new data released on Tuesday involved more than 43,000 reported infections among Los Angeles County residents aged 16 and older. Of them, 10,895, or 25.3%, occurred in fully vaccinated persons, 1,431, or 3.3%, were in partially vaccinated persons, and 30,801, or 71.4%, were in unvaccinated individuals.

Los Angeles Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer:

Breakthrough Infections Are Now 30% Of All New Covid Cases Amid Delta Surge

In Los Angeles, Breakthrough Infections Are Now 30% Of All New Covid Cases Amid Delta Surge

I concur.

And next week there will be more breakthrough cases, and even more the week after that. As we get further away from the dates the first vaccines were administered, the more immunity will wane. All you have done is make a case for the booster vaccine.

You cannot sit there and cherry pick a few snippets from a google search and understand the virology and epidemiology of this pandemic

Are you referring to this JHU table? That table is incorrect, it is showing total daily cases not adjusted for population. You can see this by toggling the WaPo data from Adj. for population to Totals. If you do that then the JHU numbers and the WaPo numbers match pretty closely. Plus, do you really believe Florida has zero daily cases as shown in that JHU table?

You can see in the data you posted that FL and TX are both still worse then NY and NJ. Both are declining but are still high. The graphs of the data will show FL hit 80 at one point.

Quoting myself here..........

I spoke with my PCP today and was informed I do not meet the criteria for a booster shot at this time. Oh well, I will wait until I am eligible.

no political references are allowed on the website. Users are not allowed to direct comments toward another user. Direct them to the topic. Violation of these rules can lead to account termination and ban

This gets more confusing to me. I just want to try to get this straight.......

Currently, aren't people who are immunocompromised (cancer patients, organ recipients, people on immunosuppressant drugs as examples) eligible for Pfizer or Moderna booster shots? OR is it just Pfizer?
